I know it's controversial...but I think they have terrific breakfasts. Great omelets, tasty hash browns, fresh bagels. Also very good lox platters. The menu is too big, and there's a lot of misses, but you can get breakfast 24/7.

A few months ago, in the middle of that So. Cal. major cold snap, I met a friend in Studio City location for dinner (his choice)...it was windy, bitter, miserable outside. I was freezing, had the beginnings of a rabid sore throat, tastebuds were about to go MIA, and not so thrilled to wait in the wake of the takeout traffic watching Celebrity Poker on the plasma screen until he arrived,

The Vegetable Soup rescued me. An incredibly good broth, and tho' salty as all getout, very tasty and therapeutic. Tons of fresh chopped vegetables, incl.turnips and rutabagas (i know my roots and shoots, those were bagas)- a cup would have been enough. Maybe the salt sparked my tired tastebuds and numbed the throat, but that broth absolutely made that soup.

I will never forget my experience there when visiting my college roommate in L.A. The menu is a monster and all I wanted was tuna on toast with french fries. Not a crazy order. But apparently a special one..... I couldn't get it although they had all those things on the menu. I could get a tuna on toast but only with potato salad or beans or a salad. No fries. And I asked. Nicely. So my friend got something that is allowed to come with fries and I swapped with her.....weird.

We have Jerry's here in Miami too. In my opinion, most of the items on there are better overlooked than considered. However with that said, when the evening hunger pangs hit after a night out and there are no other places open but pizza joints, the food there isn't so bad. I concur that the breakfast items are doable. They do good Corned Beef there. Eggs Benedict was ok. Other than breakfast, Wings at 3am? Yes, and it tastes darn good too. I think it's my favorite thing there at Jerry's.
